1984 Mercedes-Benz 230GE Gelandewagen Short Wheel Base (SWB)

Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the W460 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizable - the Gullwing Mercedes. the '57 Chevy. and the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy. yet so capable as Gelandewagen Mercedes-Benz.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class. sometimes called G-Wagen (short for Geländewagen. "cross country vehicle"). is a mid-size four-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by Magna Steyr (formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch) in Austria and sold by Mercedes-Benz. In certain markets. it has been sold under the Puch name as Puch G.

The G-wagen is characterized by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials. one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. Despite the introduction of an intended replacement. the unibodySUV Mercedes-Benz GL-Class in 2006. the G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history. with a span of 35 years. Only the Unimog surpasses it.

The G-class was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran (at the time a significant Mercedes shareholder) to Mercedes and offered as a civilian version in 1979.

It was not available from Mercedes-Benz in the United States until 2002. although this was preceded by a grey-market where even basic models commanded six-figure prices in the 1990s.

What we have for sale today is super rare 1984 Mercedes 230GE Short Wheel Base (VIN # 46023817027226)! It features 2. 3 4-Cylinder Gasoline engine combined with highly desirable 4-speed manual transmission! With this drivetrain combination you can zip down the highway with ease toward your desired destination – classy night out. or a dirty and fun-filled day off road!!!! 2. 3 gasoline engine is much more powerful and civil than its diesel siblings of that era.

This Beautiful Benz was parked about 5-6 years ago. as its owner started going through some health issues. Unfortunately life happened. and this Benz just continued to sit for few years without being touched or driven.

Before it was parked Gentleman used it as his daily driver for few years. Right now. engine does start. and the G-Wagen can be driven around. but its cold-natured. and it needs to be warmed up first. With fresh tune-up. nbsp;some Tender Loving Care and general checkup this G-Wagen should be hitting trails in no time!!! Manual Transmission goes through every gear with ease!

This Mercedes is a fun and easy project. and it is perfect for somebody who wants to do cosmetic restoration. and have a wonderful show truck and the investment. OR for somebody who can get it running to be their daily driver. and then slowly restore it to its full beauty at their own pace. but in the meantime taking it out to the beach and off-roading without worrying about scratching the paint!

Walkaround:

This G-Wagen was repainted years ago. and for a daily driver. Navy Blue paint looks good. but if you want it to shine in its full glory. it would need a new coat of paint.

Body and undercarriage are very straight and original!! All gaps are proper. and all doors. hood and trunk are opening and closing as they should!!

This is a solid and most importantly UNMOLESTED example of W460 G-Wagen!! Because of its intended use as an ultimate off-road vehicle. there are some “Frankenstein” G-Wagens out there. and to find one to be free of horrors. torture. and days of its hard use and abuse is getting harder and harder by the minute!!!!

When you wipe the dust off the inside of the fender-wells. original paint is revealed!!! There are no numerous coats of undercoatings on undercarriage and suspension where previous owners would try to hide or “protect it” from rust! Frame rails are perfect. solid and they look brand new. showing its original factory powdercoating!

Original VIN Number Stamping is also present on its passenger side frame rail – another rare and desirable “Item” on the long list of Original G-Wagen Traits and requirements if you wish to own best of the best!!!

These trucks are built tough. meant to be used. abused. played hard and put away wet. and many are as they are ultimate off road vehicles. but finding one that wasn't altered by numerous previous owners is a hard task.

Original Interior is all complete. in great condition and it is very presentable. Seats are nice and comfortable. and they are rips and tears free.

Dash is also nice. without cracks. Headliner is also in great condition!

Being original European Model and “Gray Market” vehicle. this G-wagen has no A/C.

All in all this is a very nice. complete and unmolested truck. that has a lot of potential. and considering its history and heritage it will make a very nice and fun project. and great return on investment!!!
